The motto of the present rulers
0f Germany seems to be, "never
let your right hand know what the
left is doing," said G. E. Harri-
man, executive secretary of the
Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League in
a short interview a few days ago.
"This," said he, "applies to a
pjr of related incidents of recent
Me which are of unusual interest.
In the course of a speech delivered
in Berlin on Dec. 6th, during which
he painted a black picture of Ger-
many's economic condition, Dr.
Ley, head of the German Labor
Front made the following state-
ment:
"The situation in which our
country finds itself is so serious,
that there's no need to fool our-
selves on the actual state of af-
fairs or to conceal it by means of
artificial enthusiasm. The German
people must know the truth. They
must tell it now, not with feminine
sobs, but in the manner of man
to man ."
"Then, in order to sugar-coat
to bitter pill, three days later
th German press reported, ac-
cording to dispatches received in
to country, that the United
States has this year imported 10
limes as many German Christmas
toys as in 1934. A careful check
of this statement proves that it
was quite evidently intended for
local consumption only, as it is
so far from the facts as to be
ludicrous. The United States De-
triment of Commerce figures
show that nothing like 10 times
u many German toys were im-
!rted this year. The actual in-:
trease in value for the first 10
months was less than 40 per cent.
Mien it is considered that Ger-!
Mny has made Special induee-
wnts to importers of hef toys by
illowing an unusually large pef-
ntage of blocked fnfks to be
Wd for their payments and has
lso assisted thelf manufactafara
\ heavy subsidies the results ch-
ained are discouragingly small
torn the German standpoint."
"While not noteworthy in itself,
u incident seems typical of Gar*
n propaganda methods." Mr.
wriman also pointed oot that
practically all shipments of toys to
country intended for Christ-
" consumption must be received
4f the end of October for dis-
jribution so that the 10 months
,res each year are almost equal
* the entire year's figures.

The "dreidel." the ceremonial top
of Chanukah, has been explained
by some in the following manner:
The cruel Antiochus of Syria had
decreed that no one should study
! the Torah. Jews, however, were de-
sirous of studying the sacred law,
and so they would frequently
gather together in groups and
study their holy writings. But, in
order that the Syrian officer, who
might enter their midst, should not
suspect them of studying their
precious Torah, they carried with
them "dreidlach." When they no-
ticed an officer approaching, they
immediately took out their "dreid-
lach" and began spinning them.
And it is in memory of this de-
ception of the Syrians by the Jews
of Maccabean times that we Jews
of today spin our "dreidlach" on
Chanukah.

the first century of the Common
Era, Josephus Flavius, in speaking

well-known Talmudic story of the
cruse of oil which burned for eight
days. This historian writes: "And
from that time to this we cele-
brate this festival and call it

because this liberty beyond our
hopes appeared to us."
Evidently the story of the little
flask of oil must have arisen after

AH letters, to be counted, must be in the hands of the "Guess Who" Contest Editor

Each week a prize of a book of Jewish interest will be awarded to the winner,
and honorable mention to the next five.
At the end of the contest a prize will be awarded to the school having the highest
number of winners and honorable mentions.
Teachers may aid their pupils in identifying the pictures.
The Midrash has the following
interesting statement: Why do we
kindle lights on Chanukah? Be-
cause, when the Hasmoneans con-
quered the Greeks and entered the
defiled and desolate temple, they
found there eight iron spears, upon
which they kindled lights.
The ancient Jewish code, the
Mishna, contains the following
law: If a camel was laden with
flax and passed alerig the public
road, and some of the flax pene-
trated into a shop, was set alight
by the lamp of the shopkeeper and
burnt the building, the owner of
the camel is liable, because he had
no right to put so much flax on
his beast of burden. If, however,
the lamp was outside of the store,
then it is the shopkeeper who must
pay the damage. Rabbi Judah said:
If this lamp outside of the shop,
happened to be a Chnnukah lamp,
then the shopkeeper is not liable;
because it is the custom during
Chanukah to put the lamp outside,
near the door, and therefore the
owner of the camel should have
been exceedingly careful as he
drove his animal through the
streets.
In the Middle Ages, it was cus-
tomary in many synagogues to

hymn, we shall remember the daring exploits of Judas Mac-
cabeus, whose courage restored to the Jewish people their
Temple, the center of their ancient religious life.
In these days when Jews are again being overwhelmed
b\ brute force, the inspiring epic of the .Maccabeans should
serve as a reminder that Jews have survived all their op-
pressors. As the story of a mighty triumph of right over
might, of the strength of the spirit over brute force, the re-

that make every Jew in the world

knowledge among Jews as well aa
amonir friendly and decent Chris-
tiana the world over. And you may
also remember the Arab uprising
(so-called) of 1029 and how the
greatest achievement of these poor
misled peasants was the butchery
of our defenseless children, those
pupils of the Yeshivah in Hebron,
who laid themselves down to die
for the sanctification of the Name.
even as our saints and martyrs did
in other ages. For note, please,
that these again so-called gallant
and knightly and chivalrous peo-
ples, like the romantic Arabs or
the warlike Germans, always hit
below the belt and always attack
the defenseless and always travel
in huge majorities against minor-
ities and always turn out to be
cowards and hooligans, always. No
one has ever known it to fail. Con-
sider all that and then try to im-

the Arabs of Palestine against
their Jewish brethren. Consider

read on Chanukah a Megilla
'"roll), just as we do today on
the Purim festival. This Chanukah
S roll, which contained the story
of ill" Feast of Lights, was writ-
ten about the eighth century and,
it is interesting to note, became so
sacred In the eyes of many people
that Rabbis began to discuss the
question whether a benediction
should be pronounced before read-
ing it or not.
According to the Bible critics,
any many conservative scholars,
.here is a book in the Old i
ment which was written diirin >
those days when Israel was strug-
gling against Antiochus. It is the
Book of Daniel, which, they say,
was written by a pious and pa-
triotic Jew of those days to give
(outage to his co-religionists who
were struggling against the Syrian
monarch.
One of the monarchs of the Cha-
Zars, that people of Southern Rus-
sia who accepted Judaism during
the eighth century, was named
Chanukah.
FOR PROSPECTIVE BRIDES
AND GROOMS: Weddings can
take place on Chanukah but not
on Purim, although both of them
happen to be minor festivals.

Opening day at Tropical Park,
beautiful racing plant of the Gables
Racing Association, last Monday-
saw an enthusiastic crowd of more
than 15,000 gather to welcome the
Start of the Florida racing season.
Patrons of the track last year
were pleasingly surprised to see
the renovated plant an inviting
Spectacle for the racing of thor-
oughbreds from all parts of the
country. Leading stables are repre-
sented and the stables are filled to
-apaeity. Wednesday was a "long
shot" day at the track with excep-
tionally good prices being paid at
the mutuels. The large totalizatoi
is functioning with remarkable re-
sults and affords the betting fans
the opportunity to know the odds
on the horses until the very minute
of the race.
Officials of the track are greatly
encouraged by the attendance and
betting of the opening days, and .
predict an unusually successful
season for the Tropical Park fall
meeting.
The track opened two weeks
earlier this year than ever before
in the racing history of Florida
and already the confidence of the
officials and owners of the track is
being justified.

credence to a rumor that they had
rejoiced in his defeat, he attacked
Jerusalem on a Sabbath, when the
use of weapons, even for self-de-
fense, was forbidden. Thousands
were butchered or sold into slavery
and the city was nearly destroyed.
Into AntioctaUB* twisted mind
crept the idea that the Jews were
responsible for his humiliation.
They were different, so he SUSpeCt-
ed and hated them, lie deter-
mined to destroy their separatism,
0 compel them to adopt the Gre k
and the Crick way of life.
In the Temple he erected a statu.'
f Jupiter and sacrificed .'. swine
on the sacred altar. Then fol-
wed decrees forbidding, on pain
ol death, circumcision, the ol
ance of the Sabbath, or even the
-urn of the Torah. The Chas-
sidim, as the zealous loyalists
called themselves, fled to the caves
in the hills of Judea.
The harsh decree.- were en-
forced with great rigor. Martyrs
gladly gave their lives to encour-
age the people to be steadfast.
L'lcazer. an old man, respi cted by
the people, was commanded to eat
unclean food; he refused and was
put to death. Hannah and her
seven sons were commanded to
worship an idol; she refused and
exhorted her sons to refuse. They
were put to death, one by one. The
officers of the king destroyed
schools and houses of worship.
They followed the Chassidim into
the hills and on a Sabbath fell
upon them and massacred a thou-
sand of them. Nevertheless the
people stood firm.
Into every village came the
king's soldiers, erected an altar,
and forced the people to sacrifice
to Zeus. To the town of Modin,
in the foothills of Judea, also came
a troop of soldiers. There dwelt
Mattathias, an old priest, and his
five sons. An altar was set un
the people assembled, and the of!
ficer called upon the priest to of.
fieiate. He sternly refused, a
Hellenist Jew stepped forward
perform the sacrifice. Then Mat-
tathias struck. He killed traitor
and in the affray which followed,
the king's soldiers fled, leaving
their officer among their dead.

E. Harriman, executive secretary of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League in a short interview a few days ago. "This," said he, "applies to a pjr of related incidents of recent Me which are of unusual interest. In the course of a speech delivered in Berlin on Dec. 6th, during which he painted a black picture of Germany's economic condition, Dr. Ley, head of the German Labor Front made the following statement: "The situation in which our country finds itself is so serious, that there's no need to fool ourselves on the actual state of affairs or to conceal it by means of artificial enthusiasm. The German people must know the truth. They must tell it now, not with feminine sobs, but in the manner of man to man ." "Then, in order to sugar-coat to bitter pill, three days later th German press reported, according to dispatches received in to country, that the United States has this year imported 10 limes as many German Christmas toys as in 1934. A careful check of this statement proves that it was quite evidently intended for local consumption only, as it is so far from the facts as to be ludicrous. The United States Detriment of Commerce figures show that nothing like 10 times u many German toys were im!rted this year. The actual in-: trease in value for the first 10 months was less than 40 per cent. Mien it is considered that Ger-! Mny has made Special indueewnts to importers of hef toys by illowing an unusually large pefntage of blocked fnfks to be Wd for their payments and has lso assisted thelf manufactafara \ heavy subsidies the results chained are discouragingly small torn the German standpoint." "While not noteworthy in itself, u incident seems typical of Gar* n propaganda methods." Mr. wriman also pointed oot that practically all shipments of toys to country intended for Christ" consumption must be received 4 f the end of October for disjribution so that the 10 months ,res each year are almost equal the entire year's figures.

Indications point to the I In observance of the 2100th anniversary of Chanuka, which Is being celebrated throughout the country, Miami Jewish congregations will hold a united celebration largest convention in Mizrachi hisi next Tuesday, Dec. 24th, at 8 p. m., The "dreidel." the ceremonial top of Chanukah, has been explained by some in the following manner: The cruel Antiochus of Syria had decreed that no one should study the Torah. Jews, however, were desirous of studying the sacred law, and so they would frequently gather together in groups and study their holy writings. But, in order that the Syrian officer, who might enter their midst, should not suspect them of studying their precious Torah, they carried with them "dreidlach." When they noticed an officer approaching, they immediately took out their "dreidlach" and began spinning them. And it is in memory of this deception of the Syrians by the Jews of Maccabean times that we Jews of today spin our "dreidlach" on Chanukah.

This historian writes: "And from that time to this we celebrate this festival and call it LIGHTS. I suppose the reason was because this liberty beyond our hopes appeared to us." Evidently the story of the little flask of oil must have arisen after the time of Josephus. The story of the miraculous oil is not the ohly explanation in the ancient Rabbinic literature for the I lights and the eight days of This will be one of the first i chanukah. times in the history of Jewish fraternities in this country that attention will hAve been paid to achievements in Jewish life as distinguished from general cultural affairs.

At the end of the contest a prize will be awarded to the school having the highest number of winners and honorable mentions. Teachers may aid their pupils in identifying the pictures. The Midrash has the following interesting statement: Why do we kindle lights on Chanukah? Because, when the Hasmoneans conquered the Greeks and entered the defiled and desolate temple, they found there eight iron spears, upon which they kindled lights. The ancient Jewish code, the Mishna, contains the following law: If a camel was laden with flax and passed alerig the public road, and some of the flax penetrated into a shop, was set alight by the lamp of the shopkeeper and burnt the building, the owner of the camel is liable, because he had no right to put so much flax on his beast of burden. If, however, the lamp was outside of the store, then it is the shopkeeper who must pay the damage. Rabbi Judah said: If this lamp outside of the shop, happened to be a Chnnukah lamp, then the shopkeeper is not liable; because it is the custom during Chanukah to put the lamp outside, near the door, and therefore the owner of the camel should have been exceedingly careful as he drove his animal through the streets. In the Middle Ages, it was customary in many synagogues to (Continued on Page 5)
